Dear Parents & Carers

I hope you are all keeping well and settling into the second week of lockdown?

Thank you for your patience last night with the Year 9 Parents Evening.  It was an external server issue and it was resolved, but I hope it did not cause too much disruption. Staff will be in touch via email / phone so that you can still speak to them to discuss your child’s progress and pathway options.

Remote Learning 

We hope the students are all coping with their new routine of home learning.  We know there have been a few technical issues and logging-on issues and hope these are all now resolved.

Setting work: I have instructed the staff to use a consistent plan to make it clearer on Go4Schools, for students (and parents) to see the plan for each day.

All work will be set on a Monday and will be due in on a Friday, so that students have an overview of their week.

Remote learning will be delivered a variety of ways, including Live Lessons. Some parents have asked for these to happen more often to ensure student engagement and so we have said that 1 in 3 lessons in each subject area will have a live element, with a minimum of 10 minutes duration.

Some Curriculum areas are already doing much more than this and will continue to do so, but we need to build this up gradually to ensure it is evenly spread across all the year groups. You should therefore see an increase in Live Lessons from next week. I will also share the guidelines with the students for these live lessons to ensure all is in line with our expectations and safety online.

Tutor Time / Leader of Year Input 

As I outlined earlier in the week, tutors will be in touch with your child via email or a live meeting at least twice each week and Leaders of Year will be in touch once per week.

We aim to ensure there is variety in all of our delivery to keep the students involved with their learning and for us to monitor their progress and well-being.

Please do contact the teachers if you are unsure of anything and check the website for updates in the usual way.

With many thanks as always for your support,

Year 11 Geography students worked extremely well on their revision. Students worked in pairs and had 10 minuets to summarize two contrasting case studies on The Outer Hebrides and South Cambridgeshire. The quality and knowledge shown in their work really impressed us. Well done year 11!

We are delighted to share some exciting news from the classroom! Our Year 7 students have been hard at work this term, delving into the fascinating world of myths and legends. As part of their studies, they have been tasked with creating their own mythical monsters—a journey that has spurred their imaginations and artistic talents.

First, the students planned and described their abominable creations in vivid detail. Their creativity and storytelling skills truly shone as they brought these mythical beings to life on paper. Next, they turned their drawings into digital art by using AI, transforming their blood-curdling concepts into striking visual masterpieces.

We are incredibly proud of the effort and dedication our Year 7 students have shown. Their work has been nothing short of spectacular, and we are thrilled to celebrate their achievements with you.

Thank you for your continued support and encouragement.

Warm regards,

Mr Tom Butler and the English Team

Year 10 Geography and Triple Science students had the opportunity to be part of a special cross-curricular enrichment activity. The event was lead by Scientist Dr. Leigh Hickmott, world leading expert in Pack-Ice Killer whales. He visited us at the Bourne to deliver a talk about his recent BBC programme, 'Expedition Killer Whale' and elevated students' knowledge of Antarctica's ecosystems. The students fully immersed themselves into the presentation and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. On behalf of The Bourne Community College, we would like to thank @leighhickmott for his visit and will be looking forward to seeing more of his amazing work.
